Plants as Source of Promising Lead Compounds for the Development of Therapeutic Agents against Multidrug-Resistance (MDR)

Dear colleagues,

as the guest editors of forthcoming Special Issue titled “Plants as Source of Promising Lead Compounds for the Development of Therapeutic Agents against Multidrug-Resistance (MDR)” we are pleased to invite you to contribute with an original research article or a review article, to be published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

The development of resistance in cancer and bacterial infections leads to the search of drugs with greater efficacy and specificity. Plants still play a major role as source of drug candidates and chemical skeletons for lead optimisation procedures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore and investigate this resource and its metabolites.

The objective of this Special Issue is to offer academia, industrial pharmacologists, technologists and users from different disciplines information to gain knowledge of this multifaceted field.
